A short walk from UC Berkeley is a three-bedroom home with redwood siding settled among mature oak trees.

Designed by noted local architect Elizabeth Austin in 1927, 299 Panoramic Way features built-ins and finishes one would expect in a craftsman home. Vaulted, beamed ceilings and a brick fireplace embrace a rustic ambience in the living room, while concrete counters in the kitchen and bathrooms coordinate with period details like paned wooden windows in the $1.195 million home.

Though the home has undergone renovations in recent years, owners have been careful to keep a unified look to the space, said Bebe McRae, who is listing the home for the Grubb Co.

"The brick chimney was rebuilt and made to match the original construction," McRae said. "And they used the same redwood siding when building the detached two-car garage. Though it's much younger than the home, the buildings look like they were built around the same time."

The home comes with full bathrooms on each of its three levels and multiple decks overlooking the surrounding canyon. San Francisco Bay is also visible from portions of the property.

Recently, the home's lowest level served as a music studio for a guitarist and producer.

While mixers and microphones no longer occupy the space, the room retains great acoustics and could be ideal as a media room, McRae said. It also has a half bathroom, though the space is plumbed for a shower if the next owner decides to remodel.

A wooden deck bathed in sunlight sits off the main level and provides an open space to view its lush surroundings.

The secluded yet convenient location of the lot is another appealing aspect of the property, McRae said.

"There are public walkways to (Memorial) Stadium from the home, and there are beautiful hiking trails outside the front door that belong to the university, so it's protected land," McRae said. "The home is secluded but connected."

A home set on a street named Panoramic had better boast some views, and 299 delivers, McRae said. San Francisco Bay is visible from the home, and the nearby scenery includes wildlife.

"It's a retreat; there's wild turkeys, hawks and deer," she said.

Another note: The home once hosted gourmet icon Julia Child, whose sister lived at the home decades ago, McRae said.
